Ever think of returning to Morrowind?"Not a day passes that I don't think about returning to the ancestral home of my people. Still, even with the rough treatment we've had at the hands of Ulfric and his lot, I've got ties here. It's probably more trouble to pack up and leave than it is to stay. Besides, Ambarys can't run the cornerclub on his own."

What's the Gray Quarter?"Windhelm is divided into four quarters. The Gray Quarter is the one that's home to all the city's Dark Elves. If it looks to you like an impoverished slum, that's because it is. Ulfric prefers that we live in squalor. He has nothing for disdain for anyone who isn't a Nord. He tolerates us, but that's the extent of his hospitality."

(If the Empire conqeurs Windhelm the following option becomes available)

Is life better under Imperial rule?"Yes, markedly so. Ulfric and his Stormcloaks made no secret of their disdain for the Dark Elves. In fact, they didn't seem to care much for anyone who wasn't a Nord. The folk of the Empire have always had a more cosmopolitan view of the world, so I'm glad to see them in charge."

Malthyr: "You're a war hero, Brunwulf. Ulfric will listen to you."Brunwulf: "It's not that simple. Ulfric wants a Skyrim for the Nords. He doesn't trust what he calls 'outsiders'."Malthyr: "You've seen how we live―cramped alleys, run-down buildings, few guard patrols. Even the name 'Gray Quarter' is an insult."Brunwulf: "I'll speak to Ulfric soon, but I make no promises that I can change his mind."Malthyr: "That's all I ask. With your help, we have a chance to make a better life for ourselves here. For that, I thank you."
